Dublin needs a new stadium, says O’Leary

Former All-Ireland winning captain John O’Leary believes it’s virtually certain that a mid-range stadium will be constructed to accommodate Dublin’s football needs.

O’Leary was speaking in the context of the Nama decision to reject Dublin GAA’s bid to purchase the Spawell complex on the south side of the county.

Ex-Dublin selector O’Leary suggested that Nama had a great opportunity to do something positive for sport generally, regardless of Dublin’s involvement, but knocked back the chance.
